My cousin had lidocaine spray which she uses for before waxing "down there". I asked a friend about this and she said it was "totally safe". I'm not convinced...

My asthma patient on Thursday came to the ER complaining of the usual asthma symptoms (SOB,fever,cough...) and she also said she vomited at home 3 times and when she got to the ER she vomited 2 more times. Why does the vomiting occur?

My patient was given hydrocortisone IV for her asthma I was asking a nurse how much they gave her, he was in a rush so he mumbled something....I believe he said 200mg , he said something about diluting it but i didn't catch it. How much would we norm...

sorry the link didn't appear on my phone, i just saw your quote....Thank you

Have read that but I'm pretty sure he said he diluted it...maybe I heard wrong or is it possible that some hospitals dilute?

Got it! Another question...Dr ordered an x-ray for her, she has had asthma for 27 years (she is 57)...what is the reason for x-ray? Is it to rule out other problems?

I have to educate my asthma patients, what are the points I should focus on?

Medication use....avoiding triggers...fluid intake...good rest and good nutrition? Those are on my list..I don't want to miss any important points, that's all

Thank you. :)

I didn't ask anyone to do my homework(this is not graded btw), I just asked the POINTS I should focus on. Thank you anyway :)

Which one is scarier to see, hypoglycemic patient or hyperglycemic?

I have to do a project about the pathophysiology and manifestations of altered level of consciousness. I want to do something different. Everyone did powerpoint and its soooo boring. Literally everyone in class is sleeping, including the teacher. I w...

Thank you all!

hmmm I guess you're right. Do you remember how high their sugar levels were?

I think hypoglycemia... I read that the brain uses 25% of the body's glucose and if the patient was not able to get enough, they would slip into a coma. I've seen A lot of patients with high blood sugar levels but I've never seen a patient who is hyp...

My patient just give birth and her hemoglobin is 9.9. How would I write a nursing diagnosis for anemia? Thank you.

I had this psych instructor who taught us a communication course. At first she was super nice and I totally loved her! That didn't last very long, the lady is INSANE! I'm studying in an Arab country and while the material and exams are in English, m...

I love psych courses as well as my other psych teachers. I have never had any problems with any other instructor. Far from it. I have a really good relationship with all of them but this one psych teacher really got under my skin. lol I'm glad shes g...

​I actually did say this to her face. She is currently suspended from teaching at my university because of all the complaints and she also got in a huge argument with 2 other students. I would say she is the unprofessional. I'm just writing about my...

In my country I believe they transfuse at 8 and below (but i'm not sure). She was complaining of fatigue as well as pain in the abdomen. And no our maternal care plans don't include the baby.

Nursing diagnosis are my weakness! I have all the information its just putting it all together that is the problem. Thank you so much ! This is my patient's second child, vaginal birth, preterm baby (33 weeks), she had an episiotomy, she is breastfe...

No ABG's done. Just Platelets and WBC (which are both normal). She was quite pale, that is all. The medical staff didn't seem concerned about it. She was being released the same day. So confused!!

What do you guys think? Am I missing something? I'm not really sure about the nursing diagnosis... Risk for infection related to site for organism invasion secondary to invasive procedure (episiotomy) 1. Monitor for signs of infection (as well as ...
